Libby 2008 operations

2008 has proven a monumental year for me. Reaching the age of 58, the struggle to maintain youthful looks and a physique to match needed a helping hand.

In January I decided to have a tummy tuck. No matter how many sit ups I do, I realised that I would never get a flat tummy naturally. I always hated it when I sat down and my stomach would sit over my jeans and would be visible through my clothing. So, I booked myself in for a tummy tuck and opted for lipo on my thighs as well.

After

I’m totally amazed at my new look – not bad for a 58 year old!

At the same time as having my stomach flattened, I wanted the smaller arms to match and get rid of the embarrassing ‘bingo-wings’. It wasn’t until I saw a recent photo that I decided something had to be done – this was the picture:

I Love the photo but my arms look bumpy!	This is how my arms hung

Now look closely at the arms in this shot – what a difference:

Content with my new washboard tummy and thinner arms, I wanted to start on my thighs. I was told to have a little done at a time because of my age, which didn’t bother me as it’s so easy to travel now...

As with many ladies of all ages, we suffer from ‘saddle-bags’. After experiencing the simplicity of lipo before, I decided to see what it could do to improve this. This is me before:	This is how my arms hung

This is me on my return visit, you can see a remarkable difference in the out thigh area – and as you can see I was preparing to have my inner thighs done. This was in April this year.

Here is my post-op inner thigh images. This time 2 litres was removed!.
Clearly see the difference here:

And after

Now, I feel confident to show off my figure – I am a new me and feel like a new woman. I fully believe in doing all you can to make yourself feel alive and not be dragged into ‘old age’ – why should I? I can not thank my surgeons enough who I feel are the most skilful and talented people in the world – if you want to use the surgeons I did, call or email me and I will personally set this up for you.
